How Did Pop Star Paula Abdul Order Her First Cheesesteak?

PHILADELPHIA – In a second round of celebrities recently visiting Philly's cheesesteak stands, pop star and TV host Paula Abdul got her very first Philly cheesesteak this weekend from Geno's.

Abdul, who was a massive hit maker in the 80s and 90s and then a judge on the hit TV show American Idol, was in Philly over the weekend for a charity event.

But like Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, who recently stopped by Pat's while in the area on business, Abdul thought it would be pertinent to try the city's "signature" dish.

So on Sunday, Oct. 22 she stopped by Geno's.

Her order? Provolone with onions. Or, "provolone wit," as Philly.com reports the star ordered like locals do.

We should also mention she ate her steak at about 9:15 a.m. (impressive) and called Geno's steak the "breakfast of champions."

Philly.com reports Geno's staff said the celebrity was "incredibly gracious" while dining at the South Philly cheesesteak spot.

What other Philly foods should passing celebrities try? Let us know in the comments.
